No, this is just one of many possible situations.

You're just thinking of a different scenario, in which tivoization is
important for the tivoizer.  We'll get to that.

weakening the argument with these statements.  Disputing premises of a
logical inference is pointless as far as disputing a larger argument
that this particular lemma would be a part of.
